Tim Leissner Files for Divorce from Kimora Lee Simmons After Faking Previous Divorce Papers
Tim Leissner, a former Goldman Sachs banker, filed for divorce from fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons in February. Court records show Leissner previously admitted to photoshopping divorce papers from his earlier marriage to marry Simmons.
Tim Leissner, a former Goldman Sachs executive, officially filed for divorce from fashion designer and entrepreneur Kimora Lee Simmons in February 2026. The filing ends their estranged marriage that was built on fabricated legal documents.
Leissner previously testified in court that he "faked" his divorce from his former wife, Judy Chan Leissner, by photoshopping divorce papers. He admitted to doing this twice with different women in order to remarry, including his marriage to Simmons.
The former banker has been embroiled in legal troubles beyond his personal life. He faces accusations of helping Malaysian financier Jho Low in financial schemes while working at Goldman Sachs.
This marks Simmons' second divorce. She was previously married to hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, with whom she has children. Simmons built her own fashion empire and has been a prominent figure in entertainment and business for decades.
This case shows how financial fraud can spill into personal relationships. Leissner's admission of faking legal documents raises questions about marriage validity and could affect divorce settlements involving significant wealth.
Divorce proceedings will determine asset division and custody arrangements. Leissner's ongoing legal cases may affect the settlement.
